Mother’s Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. With that in mind, in three different sections, we have found gifts that are a little bit more luxurious for your mother figure this Mother’s Day.
Beauty & Wellness
I have chosen a mix of technology and botanical; modern-day products provide us with both, it’s the perfect anti-ageing balance.
Eko Botanicals Cleopatra Body Oil
An indulgent skin-reparative magnet with a multitasking potent formula inspired by the ancient Queen of Sheba. It is fast-absorbing and works to balance skin’s pH and promote cell renewal, leaving skin glowing and radiant. This improves skin firmness, protects skin barrier, relieves dryness and targets hyperpigmentation; this is the perfect product for when we get older. You can purchase it here.
Magnitone
This is probably one of the parcels that both my mum and I were most curious about if I’m honest. Targeting wrinkles, blemishes and dull skin in just 15 minutes with the GetLit® Tri Colour LED Face Mask. This lightweight, portable and super comfortable LED treatment will take your home facials up a level, leaving skin feeling radiant.
LED light therapy uses concentrated light from the visible light spectrum (rainbow) to penetrate below the skin’s surface to target and treat different skin conditions such as fine lines + wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, blemishes and scarring. You can purchase it here.
Spa Ceylon
Derived from royal relaxation, rejuvenation and healing rituals of Ayurveda, practised in the grand palaces of Ceylon, comes the range of treasured formulae and rituals from Spa Ceylon, to hydrate, treat, purify and soothe your body, mind and soul. This smelt incredible and also came in a beautiful pouch. You can purchase it here.
Flora Haircare
Both mum and I have thick wavy hair which tends to do its own thing. So, the Flora Haircare parcel was much appreciated! The revolutionary Molecular Technology Densité Serum stimulates hair growth and density to provide fuller, thicker, healthier hair. The Flora strength mask, contains Ceramides, peptides, amino acids and biotin, it’s science-backed and vegan; which is an extra non-negotiable! You can purchase it here.
Clean Beauty Club – Glow Serum
Firstly, I loved the clean minimal packaging, secondly the product, I’ve only been using it for a few days, but it’s doing something. It’s a powerful blend designed to smooth, hydrate, and brighten your skin with every application. This serum has earned its nickname, “Botox in a Bottle,” for its ability to naturally soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Lightweight, yet potent, Glow Serum absorbs beautifully, prepping your skin for the day ahead. You can purchase it here.
Food & Drink
British Hamper Co
We were sent the Relaxation Hamper, well my father intercepted the post on this one. These hampers are filled finest British produce made by passionate artisans. Each producer is a true master of their craft and their perseverance and perfectionism can be tasted in every bite. With everything from afternoon tea hampers to fresh picnic hampers to celebratory wine and Prosecco hampers, there’s a gift hamper to suit all ages, tastes and occasions. This was definitely a hit in the Oakley household and they are available for next-day delivery. You can purchase it here.
Nyetimber
Using only Sussex-based estate-grown grapes from their own vineyards ensures that only the finest fruit is used to craft globally acclaimed Nyetimber wines. From choosing the optimal time to harvest the grapes and supervising their gentle pressing to eventual vinification. We were sent a Rosé Multi-Vintage in the loveliest gift box, this is a lovely gift all year round and it’s a little bit different, it’s something I will purchase again. You can buy it here.
Clean Co.
Non-alcoholic spirits have changed the game for non-drinkers everywhere and they are here to stay. Just a few years ago, if you wanted a non-alcoholic drink in a bar you’d be served lemonade, diet coke or a sugary fruit juice concoction. Fast forward a decade, and non-alcoholic spirits have revolutionised how sober and sober-curious people drink.
With 0.0% spirits that taste just like the real thing, bars and venues are shaking up incredible mocktails that equal their alcoholic counterparts. As someone who rarely drinks, the Clean G Rhubarb I was sent was a lovely change from the usual suspects! You can purchase it here.

Their award-winning macarons are hand-made with Italian meringue and use only the finest ingredients, all-natural fillings and free-range eggs. They are all vegetarian, gluten-free and alcohol-free.
We were kindly sent the spring selection, I say we as these were clearly not going to last until Mother’s Day. As I took photos on the kitchen worktop, it was obvious we just had to try them!
These double-filled macarons with botanical flavour ganache and complementary gels were airbrushed with natural colourings and came in the following flavours, Rhubarb & Orange blossom, Bergamot & Thyme, Strawberry, Hibiscus & Vanilla, Lime & Basil, Rose, Raspberry & Lychee and Blackberry & Lavender.
